Output management saves the enterprise money by centralizing control of the output environment directly with IT professionals trained to efficiently resolve problems. People resources and time are required to resolve printer, fax, email, and other output issues. The value of output management is, in fact, in reducing direct human intervention and thereby lowering your costs. But this is only the beginning of the hard dollar savings and benefits you can expect to realize.
Using enterprise-level output management will reduce a large part of the human element needed to distribute output because the output management system itself will automate and perform a large part of the distribution. Equally as important, the software will distribute to not just printers, but to fax, email, and PDA, yielding ancillary savings by conserving consumables such as paper and ink.
